Angkor Temples-Day 1- Neak Poan, Ta Som and East Mebon

 From Preah Khan, I continued my visit to Ta Som. This temple sits in the middle of a large lake, filled with water lilies.


There were many devotees offering prayers in this temple, many of them in their traditional attire. 






























Next stop was at Ta Som. This temple was not in its pristine condition, with minimal restoration work visible.



























From Ta Som, we went to East Mebon. This is a much bigger temple compared to earlier two. The construction style and the stones used are also not the same as earlier temples.























































There is a small Buddha statue inside the main temple building
